Following Felix Zielcke's advice to install grub2 from sid at first got me stuck at the EDD check, after adding to /etc/default/grub :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="edd=off" and running update-grub2 the system now seems to be booting normally again. Th machine in question boots from an IDE/pATA disk, maybe the latest decisions in how to proceed with the IDE subsystem weren't too lucky.
